Grant categories

north2north for the Kingdom of Denmark offers two different grants to eligible students:

  • Long term mobility: A monthly grant of 3700 DKK as supplement to cover daily living costs during exchange studies with a duration of 2-12 months
  • Short term mobility: A grant as supplement to cover travel and accommodation costs connected to participating in a field school, intensive course or conference, where the grant amount is based on the distance travelled:
    • Within Europe: 11200 DKK
    • Overseas: 22400 DKK

It is not possible to apply for grants to both long-term and short-term mobility at the same time.

Please note, that it is a requirement for exchange to- and from Danish institutions, that there is a bilateral agreement in place between the home- and host institution. Please ask the north2north coordination at your home institution. This requirement does not apply to exchange studies at institutions in Greenland or the Faroe Islands.

 

Tuition fee waivers

north2north member institutions in Canada, USA, United Kingdom and Australia offer at least one (1) tuition fee waiver for students from other north2north member institutions each year, which is to be applied for along with the north2north mobility funding application if relevant.

Contact your institution’s north2north coordinator for further information on tuition fee waivers.

NOTE that Danish institutions can only offer tuition fee waivers for incoming students if there is a bilateral agreement between the students’ home- and host institution. Ask your north2north coordinator if there is a bilateral agreement in place. If not, tuition fees will apply.
